Lectrosonics SIDEKICK - Manual (Page 4)

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
The on/off switch on the microphone body controls only the microphone output. It does not switch the
power on or off on the main unit. Current is being drained from the battery pack whenever the red
indicator lamp is lighted.
VOLUME - ON/OFF
This knob is used to switch the power on or off on the main unit. The PWR lamp will light when the
unit is turned on, but does not indicate the charged status of the battery. It is more of a reminder to
turn the unit off after use. It is also used to control the volume on the unit as well as the output volume
of the HI LEVEL OUT jack.
HI LEVEL IN
This jack may be used with line level or auxiliary outputs from tape decks, or other P.A. systems.
Various cords are available from the factory or at almost any audio or electronics store. The volume
level on this jack is preset at a fixed level, so you will have to adjust the loudness of a tape deck
plugged into this jack with the volume control on the tape deck. The volume control knob on the Voice
Projector will not affect this input.
HI LEVEL OUT
This jack provides an output signal for line level or "AUX" inputs of tape recorders or other P.A.
systems. This feature is particularly useful for recording auctions. The volume control on the unit will
control the output volume of this jack so it is important to adjust the record level on your tape recorder
after you have set the volume control on the Voice Projector. For tape recorders with an automatic
level control, you will usually not have to make an adjustment. Be sure you connect the output of this
jack to an "AUX" type of input on the tape recorder. Plugging into a "MIC" input will probably cause
distorted sound.
MINI JACK
The VP18R and SIDEKICK offer a MINI JACK for electret microphones such as the HM142V headset
models. This is the smaller "mini" jack on the control panel.
1/4 INCH JACK
This is for use with standard, low-impedance dynamic microphones. Be sure to insert the microphone
plug fully into this jack for proper operation. You should feel two clicks when it is fully seated.
CHARGING LAMP
This lamp will always be lit as long as the charger is plugged into the CH-40 CHARGER JACK.
